We love a movie series, but depending on the franchise, how many is too many sequels? Which series have yet to reach too many and which sequel became an unnecessary one? Favorite series? What should they stop at eventually or should have in the first place.

The Hobbit probably should have only been 2 films. The Lord of the Rings could have been 4-5 (especially if they had done a little more prologue). I might be biased tho because I would love to see some of the eldar days.

I usually don't like sequels, unless they are part of planned series. Disney sequels are often a lot worse than the first movie. There are some exceptions though. I wasn't fond of Lion King 2 but number 3 was fun. The same with Ice Age 2 and 3.

I enjoyed the fifth Pirates, but it wasn't really anything new either.

I feel like I was the only person who actually liked all 3 Hobbit movies. Sure, it was unnecessary, but the Battle of the Five Armies was practically just summarized in the book and I liked getting to see all the details.

The fact that there's going to be a Toy Story 4 seems unnecessary. Toy Story 3 was the perfect ending, come on.

That's because for 3 they didn't take themselves seriously.

Well, it's a shame the Matrix never had any sequels...

Too true.

And don't you dare imply otherwise!

I know, and that´s what made it fun. :)

I could definitely see another Matrix movie if they make a good one.

What do you all feel about the trend of splitting the last movie into two? I think it worked out well for Harry Potter, since it would have been hard to fit everything into one movie. But I think most splits are just about money.

5th Pirates of the Caribbean was awesome in my opinion! Much better than the 4th. The credit scene has me curious as to where they could take the series, but I think the 4th one had no point even if it contributed to some of the 5th. Uggg, twilight. Hobbit was good, I do think that the split of Harry Potter 7 was good mostly. I got sick of all the Hunger Games fans after the 1st movie because I had just been over it. I'd been wearing my hair in a braid and people were like Katniss!! And I was like "Nynaeve!"
